House to Adjourn Next Tuesday Fora Iwo Week's Keoe»s—Morse Bill Kvguluting the Liquor Traffic In District of Columbia Passed— President Vetoes a Pension Hill. | {Washington, Dec. 15.—The final vote on the immigration bill will bo taken in the senate next Thursday at 4 p. in., according to an agreement reached yesterday. Little doubt is entertained as to the passage of the measure and as it already lias passed the house it will be in conference before the holidays. Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.) renewed attention to the Cuban question by three resolutions, one being a bitter denunciation, of 1 the maimer in which it is alleged General Antonio Maceo had been killed while under a flag of tfttce. Other resolutions by Mr. Call requested the presid/nt to demand the release of United States prisoners at the Spanish penal settlement on the island of Ceuta, and also asked the secretary of state for a list of Americans held in Spanish prisons. The Call resolutions went to the committee on foreign relations Several spirited political colloquies occurred on. the floor during the dav. Mr. Allen’s speech protesting against intemperate criticism of Populism in i Nebraska led to a passage between him and Mr. Hoar in which the Massachusetts senator declared that it was a new and novel departure for senators to appear as the representatives of political , parties instead of representatives of I their states. In the course of Mr. Allen’s remarks he paid a glowing tribute io William J. Bryan as the foremost c ■•- ftpn of Nebraska and the greutesi orator »ince the days of Webster and Clay, i Later in the day Mr. Chandler and Mr. . Mitchell had a good-natured encounter. I , The senate then held a brief executive .
